Bharuch district in Gujarat has solidified its position as a prominent hub for the chemical and petrochemical industry in India, hosting about 1,394 industrial units. Over 45% of these units are chemical manufacturers, offering employment to nearly 2 lakh individuals. The district’s industrial growth is attributed to clusters in Ankleshwar, Panoli, Jhagadia, Dahej, Saykha, and Vilayat, forming an advanced chemical ecosystem.
Bharuch’s chemical exports surpassed USD 986 million last year, contributing more than 23.5% to India’s total chemical exports. It is recognized as the “Chemical Capital of India.” The district plays a significant role in both Gujarat’s and India’s economy, accounting for about 19% of national chemical exports, while Gujarat contributes nearly 45% to India’s total chemical exports.
To enhance industrial prospects, the Vibrant Gujarat Regional Conference (VGRC) South Gujarat 2026 is scheduled in Surat. This event will serve as a platform for investors, entrepreneurs, and policymakers to explore technological collaborations, global partnerships, and increased investments.
Bharuch hosts industries across various sub-sectors, including chemicals, pharmaceuticals, dyes, agrochemicals, textiles, and fibers. The district’s industrial growth is supported by robust infrastructure and favorable government policies, including subsidies, electricity relief, and simplified land allotment.
